Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de fixation d'un réservoir sur une structure porteuse du type comprenant, sur un premier côté du réservoir, au moins une première oreille plane qui est pourvue d'un trou destiné au passage d'un organe fileté en vue de son immobilisation par boulonnage sur la structure. Elle s'applique plus particulièrement à la fixation d'un réservoir à carburant en matière synthétique sur la structure d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a device for fixing a reservoir to a support structure of the type comprising, on a first side of the reservoir, at least one first flat lug which is provided with a hole intended for the passage of a threaded member in view of its immobilization by bolting on the structure. It applies more particularly to the fixing of a synthetic fuel tank to the structure of a motor vehicle.

La fixation sur la structure d'un véhicule automobile d'un réservoir en matière synthétique nécessite des précautions particulières qui entraînent des complications notables et conduisent à un prix de revient plus élevé, par rapport à la fixation d'un réservoir en tôle qui se fait simplement à l'aide de vis et d'écrous ou de profiles en V (voir le brevet GB 323 106, qui montre un exemple de dispositif du type précité).Attaching a synthetic material tank to the structure of a motor vehicle requires special precautions which cause significant complications and lead to a higher cost price, compared to fixing a sheet metal tank which is simply using screws and nuts or V profiles (see patent GB 323,106, which shows an example of a device of the aforementioned type).

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de fixation particulièrement simple, donc facile à mettre en oeuvre et d'un bas prix de revient qui soit applicable à la fixation des réservoirs à carburant en matière synthétique.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a particularly simple fixing device, therefore easy to implement and at a low cost price which is applicable to the fixing of fuel tanks made of synthetic material.

A cet effet, le dispositif de fixation suivant J'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend, sur le côté opposé du réservoir, au moins une deuxième oreille courbe qui tourne sa convaté dans le sens opposé à la structure et qui est reçue dans une fente arquée conjugée appartenant à une agrafe montée sur cette structure.To this end, the fixing device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises, on the opposite side of the reservoir, at least one second curved lug which turns its convat in the opposite direction to the structure and which is received in a conjugate arcuate slot belonging to a clip mounted on this structure.

Un exemple de réalisation fait l'objet de la description qui suit, en référence aux dessins joints sur lesquels:

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue partielle en plan d'un réservoir fixé selon l'invention;
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne 2-2 de la Fig. 1;
  • Les Fig. 3 et 4 représentent à plus grande échelle des détails de la fig. 2.
An exemplary embodiment is the subject of the following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a partial plan view of a tank fixed according to the invention;
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view along line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
  • Figs. 3 and 4 represent on a larger scale details of FIG. 2.

On voit sur les dessins un réservoir à carburant 1 en matière synthétique, par exemple en polyéthylène haute densité. Sur l'un des côtés du réservoir, par exemple le côté 2 dirigé vers l'avant en considérant le véhicule, sont formées des oreilles 3 constituées par des voiles de forme courbe, à concavité tournée vers le bas. Sur de côté opposé 4 du réservoir sont ménagées des oreilles 5 planes.The drawings show a fuel tank 1 made of synthetic material, for example high density polyethylene. On one of the sides of the tank, for example the side 2 directed towards the front while considering the vehicle, are formed ears 3 constituted by sails of curved shape, with concavity turned downwards. On opposite side 4 of the tank are provided 5 flat ears.

Chaque oreille courbe 3 est destinée à s'engager dans une fente 6 de forme arquée conjugée d'une agrafe 7 en matière plastique de forme générale en S. L'agrafe comporte ainsi au-dessous de la fente 6 une fente 8 permettant son clipage sur un support 9 faisant partie de la structure métallique 10 du véhicule. L'extrémité inférieure du S est prolongée vers les bas par un rebord 11 appliqué contre la partie de la structure 10 adjacente au support 9, la cornière ainsi formée étant renforcée par une ou plusieurs nervures verticales 12.Each curved ear 3 is intended to engage in a slot 6 of arcuate shape conjugated with a clip 7 of plastic material of general shape in S. The clip thus comprises below the slot 6 a slot 8 allowing its clipping on a support 9 forming part of the metal structure 10 of the vehicle. The lower end of the S is extended downwards by a flange 11 applied against the part of the structure 10 adjacent to the support 9, the angle thus formed being reinforced by one or more vertical ribs 12.

L'agrafe 7, représentée à plus grande échelle sur la Fig. 3, peut être réalisée par exemple en polyamide. Comme représenté, elle comporte de préférence, dans la fente 8, un téton 13 destiné à s'engager dans un trou conjugué 14 du support 9 Ceci assure le positionnement correct de l'agrafe 7 tout en garantissant son immobilisation.The clip 7, shown on a larger scale in FIG. 3, can be made for example of polyamide. As shown, it preferably comprises, in the slot 8, a stud 13 intended to engage in a conjugate hole 14 of the support 9 This ensures the correct positioning of the clip 7 while ensuring its immobilization.

Chaque oreille plane 5 comporte un trou oblong 15, allongé parallèlement au côté 4 du réservoir, qui est destiné à être traversé avec jeu par une vis verticale 16 en saillie vers le bas la structure 10. Dans l'exemple représenté, la vis 16 est rendue solidaire de la structure 10 par soudage de sa tête 17 sur cette dernière, et la fixation du réservoir est assurée, pour chaque oreille 5, par un écrou 18.Each flat ear 5 has an oblong hole 15, elongated parallel to the side 4 of the reservoir, which is intended to be crossed with clearance by a vertical screw 16 projecting downwards from the structure 10. In the example shown, the screw 16 is made integral with the structure 10 by welding its head 17 to the latter, and the reservoir is fixed, for each ear 5, by a nut 18.

Une entretoise tubulaire 19 est interposée en tre chaque oreille 5 et la structure 10. De préférence, cette entretoise, représentée à plus grande échelle sur la Fig. 4, fait corps avec un étrier 20 qui se clipe sur l'oreille 5 avec engagement d'un téton 21 dans le trou oblong 15 de l'oreille. L'ensemble entretoise-étrier peut être réalisé, par exemple, en polyamide. Le téton 21 est percé d'un trou central circulaire 22 dont le diamètre correspond à peu près à celui de la vis 16.A tubular spacer 19 is interposed between each lug 5 and the structure 10. Preferably, this spacer, shown on a larger scale in FIG. 4, is integral with a stirrup 20 which clips onto the ear 5 with engagement of a stud 21 in the oblong hole 15 of the ear. The spacer-caliper assembly can be made, for example, of polyamide. The stud 21 is pierced with a circular central hole 22 whose diameter roughly corresponds to that of the screw 16.

Le montage du réservoir dans le logement ouvert vers le bas qui est défini par la structure 10 entre le support 9 et la vis 16 se fait d'une façon particulièrement simple:

  • On met d'abord en place par clipage d'une part les agrafes 7 sur les supports 9, d'autre part les entretoises 19 sur les oreilles planes 5. On présente ensuite le réservoir dans la position inclinée vers le bas indiquée en traits mixtes sur la Fig. 2, et on fait glisser les oreilles courbes 3 jusqu'au fond des fentes 6 des agrafes tout en redressant progressivement le réservoir. Lorsque le réservoir a presque atteint sa position horizontale de service, les entretoises 19 s'enfilent sur les vis 16 jusqu'à buter sur la structure 10, les vis 16 dépassant alors sous les êtres 20. Il suffit ensuite de mettre en place puis de serrer les écrous 18 pour assurer le maintien parfait du réservoir sur la structure du véhicule. Le démontage du réservoir s'effectue aussi facilement, en inversant l'ordre des opérations ci-dessus.
The mounting of the tank in the downwardly open housing which is defined by the structure 10 between the support 9 and the screw 16 is done in a particularly simple way:
  • First, by clipping in place, the clips 7 on the supports 9, on the other hand the spacers 19 on the flat ears 5. The tank is then presented in the downward inclined position indicated in phantom. in Fig. 2, and the curved ears 3 are made to slide to the bottom of the slots 6 of the staples while gradually straightening the reservoir. When the tank has almost reached its horizontal service position, the spacers 19 are threaded onto the screws 16 until they come up against the structure 10, the screws 16 then protruding beneath the beings 20. It then suffices to put in place and then to tighten the nuts 18 to ensure the perfect retention of the tank on the vehicle structure. Dismantling the tank is also easy, reversing the order of the above operations.

L'agencement ainsi décrit est particulièrement simple et bon marché. De plus, le réservoir 1 est parfaitement maintenu sans aucun contact avec les parties métalliques de la structure 10. On évite ainsi tout risque de détérioration par frottement matière plastique-métal de la matière plastique qui le constitue, et on assure l'isolement thermique entre la structure et le réservoir, retardant l'échauffement de ce dernier en cas d'incedie du véhicule.The arrangement thus described is particularly simple and inexpensive. In addition, the reservoir 1 is perfectly maintained without any contact with the metal parts of the structure 10. This avoids any risk of deterioration by plastic-metal friction of the plastic which constitutes it, and thermal insulation is ensured between the structure and the tank, delaying the heating of the latter in the event of a vehicle failure.
